Homogeneous Equations

  • A homogeneous equation is a type of linear equation where all the terms have the same degree.

  • The zero vector is always a solution to a homogeneous equation.

  • Homogeneous equations can have either a unique solution or infinitely many solutions.

  • The set of solutions to a homogeneous equation forms a vector space.

  • Homogeneous equations can be solved using methods such as substitution (see fact sheet to see an example)
